Schöckl Warmup 2024 is a disc golf tournament on Austrian Schöckl mountain near Graz, Styria organized by Discgolfclub Graz (DGCG).
This AmateurAustroTour (AAT) event is a 1-day PDGA C-tier tournament played over 2 rounds with a shotgun start on Wednesday the 1st of May 2024 (which is a public holiday: International Workers' Day). The main target group are amateur players with no or a PDGA rating of <900, who are not (likely) getting a spot in the AustorTour event. However, all players are welcome - including players of the Schöckl Open 2024, who want to play two competitive rounds as warmup.
We offer following divisions:
- Purple (amateur players with no or a PDGA rating of <800)
- MA4 (amateur players with a PDGA rating of <850)
- MA3 (amateur players with a PDGA rating of <900)
- MA2 (amateur players with a PDGA rating of <935)
- FPO (female players of any rating)
- MPO (players of any rating)
Registration for MA2 and MPO will start according to the AAT-Rules with registration stage 2. And according to ÖGDV all Players without rating will have to start in MPO division.
Note on player numbers:
If there are less than 3 participants in a division we will merge this division.
The Maximum number of participants is 72. Therefore the maximum flight size is 4 players.
Wildcards will be distributed by discretion of the TDs.
Course
Details to the layouts can be found on UDisc or Disc Golf Metrix.
As we play the standard pro layout this course is available for practice any time.
Layout
Alpine Terrain (1400m sea level) is waiting for you.
The course layout is the standard, permanent pro-layout with a Par 59 and 1886m (it is not the same layout as played during the AustroTour event Schöckl Open 2024 - however some holes are identical):
There are following minor changes to the standard pro layout:
- Hole 16: There is an additional mandatory to protect the hut on the right end of the hole.
- Hole 18: The pond is OB and all OB throws proceed to the drop zone (=amateur tee). You can take causual relief near the pond. See teesign for details.
Recently Schöckl Pro tees and signage have been renewed by Holding Graz in cooperation with Otfried Derschmidt. Beside the new tee pads there are following changes to last years layout:
- The tee for hole 13 has been shifted 20 meters to the right.
- On the 15th hole, a tree, which previously served as an upper boundary, has been lost.
